Description

In a world in which diplomacy between the world's two biggest economies is being broadcast 140 characters at a time and tensions seem to ebb and flow with the weekly news cycle, it's easy to be overwhelmed with information and talking heads.

But where is this relationship actually? and what do the Chinese really make of President Trump and the US government?

Our 3rd China briefing for 2017 seeks to address these questions and more as we invite Beijing Foreign Studies University's Professor Xie Tao to share his thoughts on China's view of last year's presidenatial campaign and election, as well as the future prospects of China-U.S. relations in the Trump Administration.

Page, Columbia University Press, 2010). He has also published several articles in the Journal of Contemporary China, including “What Affects China’s National Image?
